Officials at Frontier Airlines called police to meet a flight arriving at LAS after a small monkey was discovered in the cabin.

F9 spokesman Richard Oliver said the marmoset, known as ‘Gizmo the finger monkey,’ was found to be a passenger's 'emotional support' animal but the airline was not informed a service animal would be onboard the flight, which departed from CMH.

Oliver said the passenger snuck the pet onboard in a duffel bag and when questioned on arrival, refused to hand over the required documents verifying the monkey as a support animal. The monkey was apparently allowed through the TSA security checkpoint in Columbus as TSA agents do not need to see supporting documents.
